Yurt? What is a Yurt?

I do not even pretend to know anything about architectural history. I first saw the Yurt on an HGTV special. It seems to come from a design used by the mongolians. It is an extremely sturdy rigid tent structure that has walls of sticks covered with a canvas tent.

The rigidity and durability has been repeatedly brough into the permanant structure arena and seems to be quite popular in some areas. We selected this style because of the aparent ease of putting it up. I have yet to see if that is true, but never the less, Jennifer has seen through to give me her final approval, so the plan is set.
